Bernard says:

21:25 < bernard> Zanchey: typically it involves running on mermaid as root

  • "killall -9 dispense ; rmmod 8250 ; modprobe 8250 ; dispense standalone coke"

DavidAdam says: Yeah, but occasionally this doesn't fix it - we end up with trash in the coke contents (control characters on morwong, off-by-one dispense protocol dumps on mussel...

Bernard says some more: If that doesn't fix it, after modprobe'ing 8250 but before starting dispense, fire up minicom on mermaid, and try to talk to the coke machine. You should be greeted with a prompt ":" when you press enter. Type "d7\n" (doesn't acutally dispense anything). Type "s\n" for good measure (it'll throw at you current slot names, which may be garbage, but don't worry). Exit minicom (^B-Q). Then start up dispense.
